Title: Kennedy Still Highest-Rated Modern President
Post by: GG on December 07, 2010, 07:55:38 PM
PRINCETON, NJ -- Of the nine U.S. presidents who have served in the past 50 years, John F. Kennedy continues to earn the highest retrospective job approval rating from Americans, now 85%. Ronald Reagan ranks second, with 74%. While these presidents' ratings are largely unchanged from 2006, Bill Clinton's rating has improved, putting him in third place, while Jimmy Carter, at 52%, has dropped from third to sixth. Richard Nixon remains the lowest rated.

And GWB has a higher approval rating than Obama:

These sorts of polls/ratings are laughable (but as folks here know I friggin hate polls)
